BIJDRAGE van June Limpawutiwaranont, hoofdvak fluit

June komt uit Thailand. Ze heeft een oude Thaise pentekening meegenomen, een huis op palen, met veel water. Ze vertelt over het leven in Thailand. Vervolgens speelt ze een door haar gecomponeerd stuk gebaseerd op volksmuziek uit haar land.

Na haar performance wordt de compositie toegelicht en geeft June achtergrondinformatie over de theoretische aspecten van de volksmuziek (pentatoniek, etc.) gegeven.

 FEEDBACK van June

what's your general opinion about the assignment? I think the assignment is very interesting and challenging. When I first heard that we have to do this assignment I felt quite scared but after I started working on it, it was very fun.

what did you learn from it? I learn to create something according to my own perspective and trying to also fit in others creations. Also how we can make the music more interesting and at the same time fit in the theme that we chose.

how was the feedback (from the teacher and the other students)? The feedback was much better than what I was expected. They can feel what I want to show and delivered. I got tips to make the composition more interesting also which was very nice.  

give also a short introduction about your painting choice I came from the different part of the world and also totally different culture so for me I want to introduce Thai painting style and the story. The painting is about the life near the river in the old times. In Thailand we used to lived near the river or canal with the high wooden house with the free space underneath the house which allows the water to flow through. The painting also shows the lifestyle of Thai living in the past, we usually live together as a big family and we usually do things together for example having meals and so on.

anything what is important to write down I composed this piece for the Thai painting in Thai classical music       style which contains folk melody and pentatonic also the form of composition is according to the Thai classical music style (Slow-moderate-fast) as a solo piece for flute.

BIJDRAGE van Rumiko Asahara/浅原ルミ子 hoofdvak clarinet

Rumiko komt uit Japan, ze heeft een verklanking van ‘De Schreeuw’ van Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944) gemaakt. Ze vertelt dat het schilderij erg populair in haar land is. Ook geeft ze een boeiende uitleg over de figuren op de achtergrond. Bijzonder…..omdat je aandacht juist naar de ‘schreeuwmond’ wordt getrokken. De bijbehorende muziek is opmerkelijk vrolijk, juist vanwege de hoopgevende figuren op de achtergrond.

FEEDBACK van Rumiko

what's your general opinion about the assignment? I think it is a good opportunity to try to imagine how composers create their music and where ideas come from. We instrument players follow notes hardly on a music, but we tend to forget to imagine why a composer put these notes and   articulations. This time I got a experience of an opposite thinking way  about music which I do normally. It was very interesting.

what did you learn from it? I learned which kind of leaps, notes, articulations and phrases would be reminded by a picture.I also learned which points a composer could focus on to express about a subject; this time, it was a picture. I will use these kinds of points of views when I read a music and I will be able to not only focus on mentioned notes and articulations but also why composer of it chose these. It will help to analyse pieces.

 how was the feedback (from your teacher and the other students)? I played my composition with the clarinet by myself. The feedbacks were interesting. Especially, I put on a impression of two guys in a picture who didn't care about screaming by main character on the picture. The teacher asked me why I put this moment in my composition. At this time I recognized that each one would have each point of        view at a picture. It was very interesting.

anything what is important to write down This time, I focused on not melody line but movement of each notes to express the picture. I also tried to express curved lines in the picture because these were specific feature of the paint. I think they are important that which points I want to express   especially or I want to make someone's attentions with a music.

give also short introduction about your painting choice. I composed a music about The Scream by Edvard Munch, Norwegian painter. He painted it with oil in 1893. In the painting, we can see a guy/lady who is screaming on a bridge. We also can see two people behind the screaming one but these two people don't care the unhappy screaming person. I got inspirations and wanted to express these things; if you are sad deeply and you feel it is a kind of end of the world, on the other hand, on one care of you.
